Hermione being Hermione, she’s upset that Harry might be doing something wrong practicing Spell Mongery, and she’s all shirty that Harry can perform a type of magic she can’t. She won’t be any happier after Harry’s explanation.

Second of three drabbles.

Final of three drabbles.

As the one-hundredth anniversary of the defeat of Voldemort approaches, the headmistress of Hogwarts grants a reporter an interview. They discuss why Dumbledore instituted the Paladin program when she and Harry Potter were starting their sixth year, and what the program really entailed.

First of three drabbles.

Just a few days after Harry Potter stumbled back to number four, Privet Drive, Death Eaters attack the family of one of his two best friends. Will she and her parents survive? Will Dumbledore succeed in creating his noble and powerful student warriors, the Paladins? How can Harry prepare to defeat Voldemort, while he’s so wrapped up in fighting Cornelius Fudge and the Daily Prophet? Will anyone believe it’s a good thing that Harry becomes a Spell Monger, a practitioner of the reviled long dead craft of banging together new magic for personal profit? Even more important, will Harry ever find love?

 Harry finds himself punished and alone on Christmas Eve.   Then three spirits visit him late at night, but it's not what you think.   Or, maybe it is.   Then, there is the old movie he once saw...

A non-Paladin Program Christmas one-shot.   Happy Christmas 2006!

Everyone knows Muggles are defenseless against Death Eaters - or are they? The action starts days after the end of Harry Potter fifth year at Hogwarts. Dumbledore decides to train a select group of volunteers to become the shining twentieth century versions of Emperor Charlemagne’s Paladins. The fighting is fierce, and that’s before they take on Voldemort and his Death Eaters. New heroes arise, and students come from around the world to join the training. Harry learns he is the heir to the last Spell Monger, and nearly goes to Azkaban because of his inheritance. Will he ever realize just how much his most faithful friend means to him?

How did magic in Harry Potter’s world come into existence? The first witches and wizards weren’t just born with wands in their hands, were they?

Extensive Muggle and magical historical and anthropological research has revealed much, but not the whole story. In 2023, ten years after the master wandmaker’s death, a provision of Mr. Ollivander’s last will and testament allowed Harry Potter to give several exhaustive interviews telling the wizarding world the Ollivander family history - the founding of the oldest wizarding business in the world. Finally, the StoryTeller can chronicle this in a readable manner — from Harry’s eyes the summer before his third year.

A/N - One reader commented that my "382 B.C." is the definitive history of the beginning of magic. However, most readers don’t review at all, so don’t be that impressed with his kind words.

Just how short a trip back in times is needed to change everything in Harry's life?

Most everyone knows a pretty woman that can be described as "pleasingly plump."   She might be sincerely called "big and beautiful," or the word "rubenesque" is used at its most complimentary.   She has a delightful personality and such a great smile that most people over look her size.

No one ever described Millicent Bulstrode that way.
